Q3 of 95 Page 6

In the given figure, ΔABC and ΔDEF are similar, BC = 3cm, EF = 4 cm and area of ΔABC = 54 sq cm. Determine the area of ΔDEF.

Given: ΔABC ~ ΔEF, BC = 3cm, EF = 4 cm

and area of ΔABC = 54 sq cm


We know that, the ratio of two similar triangles is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides.
